Device: Kobo Glo HD
As mentioned I went to pick up my cover today at my nearby dropoff station and had no time for to take a closer look.

Firstly my cover is called "Odyssey for Kobo Glo & Glo HD" bought from amazon on their local website for my country for 9,90 Eur which was more likely to be one of the lower end priced cases.

From my view/impression the quality is solid. As seen on the inside cover it features some fake stiches which could've been some place to put business cards into but it's no pocket haha. Didn't expect it to be one.

The fit is perfect and the magnet to keep everything closed seems to be powerful and embedded into the case very well. The Cover itself isn't as thin as i thought it will be, but the cover seems to be durable so no scratches from another item in a bag can damage the screen. It does not feature a magnet to sleep/unsleep the device though but i guess it's not really required (for me)

Overall from the first evening using the case I am confident that this case will at least stay for some time. If i were to give a rating

Higher Number means Better
------------
Price: 8 / 10 (Since a 6" kindle one was just 3,60 eur )
Quality: 8 / 10 (Good Quality, premium covers might offer a tad more.)
Looks: 9 / 10 (looks simple, not cheap - 10 if it were to match my favourite color)
Functions: 6 / 10 (missing business card, no sleep function )
------------
Overall : 8 / 10


As a Bonus to carry it around with car keys, wallet, etc. I love those "eastpak - the one" bags. Just in the right size to keep a little space when putting an 6-7" e-reader inside with cover, wallet, and some small accessories to keep jeans pockets empty.
